Leon Clarke

[Bideford_Robin]

The only blindness here is your blind hatred for Di Canio. Funny how you wait until we lose a few games before you suddenly re-materialise spouting your worthless drivel.

Timlin is fucking shit, he always has been and always will be. It was perfectly acceptable to slate him last season, but it's not now? Just because it's Di Canio and you don't like him?
And what "treatment of Connell"? Massive straw clutching. Connell likes it at Swindon.
And even the media are now exonerating Di Canio from blame re the Leon Clarke incident.

So really all you have is that we are 88th and yes that is gutting, of course, but if everyone who gave Danny cunting Wilson chance after chance when his brain had clearly melted and dribbled out of his ears would now extend the same courtesy to Di Canio maybe he could concentrate on the football and actually get us out of this mess.

Still believe Di Canio can turn this around, starting tommorow   Just wanted to say I think your description of Wilson   is more than a tad harsh but you're entitled to your opinion

[random_five]

Can't we just all play nicely?

Clearly people have contrasting views on Paolo's views but maybe we can put them to one side and just concentrate on that little thing called football?

Well he started it.. He pushed in and stole my doughnut.

If you think that with 4 consecutive league defeats with 1/5 over all, losing at home to our biggest rivals for the first time in 40 years, publicly slating the players he'd signed in general, on the pitch altercations between his staff and a player, other players starting in our win then disappearing out on loan, another player he signed being subbed after 30mins...

After all that, you think everything is all good, that PDC deserves your unquestioning adulation, then to be honest I think I've made my point.

You've written that as if it's a bad thing.

I didn't mean to give that impression, I obviously meant that his "passion" is a great thing.

That's better.

I've really gone off the word passion recently. I got angry with a Passion Fruit earlier for no better reason than it reminding me of football and moronic post game text-ins.

[sonicyouth]

I agree with Nick.

[Nemo]

It's nice than someone still does, poor fella seems to have rather nosedived in popularity. Bogus Dave even wrote an angry song about him, the heartless bastard.

booooooo cunt etc

To be fair, Wilson had earned some time and patience from the fans, by getting us to the playoff final the season before and giving us memories like Southampton, Leeds and Charlton away (Not forgetting the Leeds game at the CG).

I still think PdC will turn it around, but apart from some impressive soundbites and loads of charisma, he hasn't actually done much yet, has he?

Made me smile, good work!!

The problem I have is that Clarke will be one of the higher earners in the Team. Now we have very publicly back ourselfs into a corner anouncing he will never play for us again, all very correct of course. However, what sort of position are we going to be in, in having to get rid of him. Who will take him, who will pay his wages, also people now know that there is no way he will play again for us and will put any interested parties in a very strong position. The best outcome will be to sack him as he may have breach his contract but I expect that legal people will be crawling all over the contract to see if this is possible. I hope it is. I also hope Paolo does more research on the next player he brings in.

Paolo, it's Paolo.
